One early morning @ or around daylight, I was driving down hwy 169 about 20 miles S. of Shreveport, when a came up on an animal walking down the middle of the hwy. I was not sure what it was, so I slowed way down. As I got real close, it herd me and it looked back and then I realized it was a young cougar. (age based on the size of the head) one jump and it cleared the rd. That was about 10 yr's ago. My next experience was in one of my wildlife food plots where I found these really big tracks. I took a picture of the tracks and when I returned home I looked up the tracks and the tracks were Mt. Lyon (cougar) tracts. This was about 30 miles west of Shreveport, across the rd from a 9,000 acre Nat wildlife refuge and 1 mile from the banks of Caddo lake, 27,000 acres of the largest cypress tree forest in N. America. That happened about two yr's ago. I carried my pistol with me for several weeks after that.
